    Topic of the Week - Dogs and Chickens

    I have two dogs, a Shiba Inu mix (10) and a Husky mix (18 mo.) and both are respectful of my chickens. The shiba was very interested in the birds at first and I was worried that his small-animal prey drive would be an issue, but I allowed him to be on leash when the chicks were out grazing. Soon...

    Official BYC Poll: Do You Wear a Mask or Respirator When Cleaning Your Coop?

    No mask for me. I have a very small coop with a bedding drawer that gets cleaned once a week, it's a bit dusty but I usually stand upwind of where I'm working. I do a deep litter method with construction sand in the run and usually just spot clean that every morning/ whenever it looks gross...

    How Much do you all feed your chickens?

    I have four in my flock, all a few months shy of a year old. I feed fermented grower feed (with some mix-ins) 24oz per day free choice. Sometimes they eat every scrap and sometimes they leave 4-8oz when they go to sleep (though with longer days, they tend to finish their food more often). I also...

    BYC Writing/Reading/Gaming Club

    I am a very avid reader, currently working my way through the Wheel of Time series, I'm on Book 9 right now. I like to read books in tandem as well, and usually work on two books at once.

    Any Gamers Here?

    I have played No Man's Sky! I thought it was really fun and I liked the sandbox feel to the gameplay. I also liked that it's cross-platform and I could play with people on different consoles/PC. I started Mass Effect trying to be a badass using the "Ruthless" responses, but I quickly got...

    Brown Egg layers laying green/olive eggs?

    I have a Welsummer (I think) who lays green eggs, not brown like the breed usually does. I was thinking maybe she's mixed, but she looks just like every other Welsummer I've seen.

    Favorite actions or sounds of your birds?

    I just love listening to my girls' different voices. My Australorp sounds like a low tea kettle or like she's trying out for the choir. The Welsummer sounds hoarse and has a soft voice until she sings her egg song, then it sounds like she's being murdered. My RIR is the loudest and make sit seem...

    Ended Official BYC Mini-Contest Series—What's Your Hobby?

    My hobby is cake decorating. I love to bake and about 7 years ago I was lucky enough to land a job at a local bakery where the owner taught me everything I know. I have left the bakery life behind me but I still make cakes for friends and family and have been commissioned for several parties and...

    Attaching hardware cloth to run. Inside or outside?

    I Attached the HC to our run from the outside, mostly to allow for more interior space in our small run. I was also worried about the chickens getting caught on the sharp edges. I think it looks nicer too.
